Interview Details – One of their VP teaches a class at our school. Each year around the time looking for summer intern, he will send out a programming question to interested students. It is about searching in some slightly big data, programmed in C++.
If you pass the test, you get an onsite interview. I was interviewed by 3 different people including the VP himself. All of them are programmers so the questions are all about programming in C++, working with strings and searching. They also ask about some programming tricks such as integer swapping without additional memory.
If you do good on the interview, they send out the offer in two weeks.

Interview Details – Recruiter call & screen. on site interviews with manager, colleagues and clients. Lots of questions around change management, company seems to be in chaotic state with a good deal of turnover at leadership and manager levels

Interview Details – It began with a phone interview with the hiring manager which lasted about 15 minutes and was mostly about my C++ experience. Afterward, I was invited for the in person interview a week later. I met with the hiring manager and a software engineer and discussed my project experience and was asked some basic questions about C++. I was scheduled to meet with two additional people but was told that they were in a meeting and the interview concluded. I received an e-mail that I didn't get the position 45 minutes later.

Interview Details – After short phone interview Symantec invited me for on-site interview.
Booked a hotel in 5 minutes walk distance from the HQ. Had 6 interviews during 2 days with different team leads and technical directors.
During the interview it was wide range of questions including technical and abstract questions, code examples, puzzles, whiteboard coding, etc.

Reason for Declining – Smaller salary comparing to what I had.

Interview Details – Focus on technical a lot.. and look for soft & behaviourial skills

Interview Details – I was approached by a recruiter for a position within VeriSign's User Authentication business, originally on a contract-to-hire basis. I initially had a phone interview with a member of the Professional Services team. Though scheduled for an hour, our conversation was so pleasant that we actually spoke for closer to two.
This was followed up with a technical interview with two other members of the team, and the Director of the group.
En route to my third interview, an in-person with three of the team members, I received word of Symantec's acquisition of the VeriSign security business. Though only made public that day, the guys I met with had been aware of it for some time. They conveyed their faith in the business.
The final "interview" was with the VP overseeing the division. Without really asking me any questions, she offered me the position, adding that with the acquisition they'd decided to make it a direct-hire rather than risk losing the headcount.
All in all, the entire process took about a month, and was extremely pleasant.

Negotiation Details – I was very pleased with the offer made. However, shortly after the acquisition, a portion of the team left to start a new company. As they were attempting to recruit the rest of us to go with them, the EVP offered an immediate raise, increased bonus structure and restricted stock units. Suffice to say, I stuck around.

Interview Details – I started off with a phone interview, in which I talked about my previous projects. Then I had an in person interview that lasted 3 hours.
